Unmanned Aircraft/Aerial System (UAS) Noise Compilation

Unmanned aircraft/aerial systems (UASs) can be used for many purposes, for example, in servicing delivery, recreational activities, utility inspection, and film industries. Use of UAS vehicles is limited, with more widespread use pending approval. For some applications, use of UAS vehicles can expose communities to a type of noise not currently experienced, with current noise sources typically related to transportation systems (e.g., aircraft, rail, and road or highway noise sources), home activities (e.g., air conditioning units and lawn car), and industrial noise sources. It is important to understand the type of noise communities will experience with UAS operations.
